Art Gallery

Western European Russia


This gallery is usually housed in Catherine the Great's 1775 Road Palace (which is being very slowly restored), but for now you'll find the collection in a less-imposing business centre just out of the town centre. There's a bit of everything here, from folk art and furniture to 14th-century icons and some impressive Soviet-era paintings.
